He revealed on X, formerly Twitter, that someone had donated £5,000 ($6.5k) towards his fundraising efforts, and later shared that J.J. Watt was the mystery backer.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>This donation has taken his fundraising to just under £20,000 ($26K) - an amount he was blown away by.</p><p>He tweeted: "APPARENTLY ITS @JJWatt ???? Honestly in utter disbelief, thank you JJ- you are an absolute inspiration ❤️."</p><p></p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">APPARENTLY ITS <a href="https://twitter.com/JJWatt?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@JJWatt</a>????
